▶ CHARACTER
NAME: Rey.
CANON: Original from published series, (Project SERAPHIM).
CANON POINT: Book Three, Seraphim FOXHOLE, Chapter 36: The World is Gonna Change Us — (After being impaled with a rebar by IV.)
AGE: 97 (appears 30ish).
BACKGROUND: Abridged history synopsis.
PERSONALITY: With an imposing demeanor and bearing, not many would find Rey to be an approachable woman. Most first impressions would indicate that truth — since the day she was born, Rey always been unstable in nature. Prone to dangerous outbursts and driving into perils, her barbarous urges are kept at bay by the suppression of much older memories that ground her conscience, survival instincts, and people skills (rudimentary that the latter might be).
It is because of her nature that Rey puts up a robotic front at first, sometimes even feigning ignorance to get a read on how someone reacts. When meeting new people, she tends to suppress her emotions until she can strategize how to interact with them. Analytical to a fault, she might even seem reserved and shy when facing situations that are new to her. Once she starts acting less like a robot and a little more human, she’s quicker to roll with the punches and get more social and push her boundaries. If the occasion call for it, she may even develop a sense of humor, though her funny bone might be somewhat (read as: severely) lacking and offensive as a result of crude military manners. Anyone sane can usually tell that there’s something not right with her, but with fellow soldier types she might fit right in.
Among those other “somethings not right” is the fact that she has always exhibited a pattern that borders on self-destruction, going so far as to hardly acknowledge herself as a being, let alone human. While she is internally still at war with the acceptance of her own personhood, her destructive tendencies have evolved with her mission-driven goals. When tackling precarious situations, it is not to destroy herself but to defend someone else. It’s that new objective as well as her desire to protect those who cannot help themselves that has become her raison d’être, almost making her a better warrior than she ever was as a living weapon with no purpose to call hers.
Similarly, she has recently been faced with a need to atone for the bad her present as well as past incarnations had done, going so far as to throwing herself into a fray without a care for her own wellbeing. After a series of reckless acts, it isn’t until after a couple interventions that she reevaulates her methods of doing things. That she needs to stop living for the sake of others and work on trying to confront her own wants and desires as well.
Paradoxically, Rey is selfish in her supposed selfless acts of martyrdom, often fringing on suicidal. While it’s not the first time Rey has been urged to try and live for herself, it slaps her in the face when it’s finally brought to her attention by the people she had hurt. People who, she finds, do not wish her ill. People who do not entirely fault her for the sins of her past selves and would rather see her grow into her own person for once.
That person she truly is just happens to be brutally outspoken, almost rude (never ask her if those jeans make you look fat, for one thing). While her open honesty can be off-putting, she doesn’t hold any reservations when speaking her mind. This has proven to be another tactic she has used to push people away, because she’s not doing anyone favors by being so blunt all the time — it’s specifically to alienate herself even further. And it’s damn confusing when she finds that it doesn’t always work. Matters like romance and relationships are completely alien to Rey, leaving her awkward when confronting feelings and times of intimacy. She isn’t ashamed by this neither does she hold any prudish attitude towards those more sexually open, but her own inexperience can be embarrassing that she might regress to being abrasive as a self-defense mechanism on the matter.
Despite her honesty, she isn’t always an open book out of trust. Instead, this is intended to keep most people at an emotional distance. In some cases, as soon as someone starts getting close she is prone to act out in ways that can be considered cruel, oftentimes blurting horrible things she may or may not mean. At her core, however, she is a lonely person. Someone who actually wants to keep people around and learn how to connect with them. The problem is that she’s still figuring out how to do just that. Underneath the scars and rough exterior, however, is a softness that she seldom allows others to see, but it’s there.
Even her ways of expressing affection is less than conventional. When she perceives someone as weak, she becomes fiercely protective in a way that can come off as unintentionally condescending or humiliating to most individuals. If she perceives that person to be strong, she has no reservations about putting them in harm’s way, as it’s her way of showing that she has faith in their abilities to survive and care for themselves. In many ways, Rey’s faith is pretty dangerous.
Some things never change. She still doesn’t give a damn about what people think of her. She was once a monster and she knows this. What she doesn’t want is to do more harm than she’s already done. She just acts incredibly moody and aggressive. She is, at heart, a weapon raised to serve no other purpose but to fight. When there’s no war to be fought, she doesn’t really know what to do with herself. But she is nearly a century old, and much of that knowledge and experience (even the fabricated ones) adds up. How to go forward and live for herself? That’s something she’ll have to make time to figure out.
POWERS/ABILITIES:
● Composition: Rey’s flesh and blood and fibers are cloned from a genetic “father” and “mother” donor, thus making them biologically related by all counts. She is, first and foremost, designed specifically for the sake of combative purposes.
Due to the immortal strain of cells belonging to her father, also known as LUC-156 or Cleary cells, Rey has a natural ability to heal significantly faster than a human. But due to the mixture of the human and immortal cells, she is not quite the same as her father, and as such her healing has some limitations. For instance, broken/fractured bones will mend within a matter of days, but she is unable to reattach lost limbs or repair scar tissue without surgery.
Scientifically speaking, those who are born with these cells are no longer considered human, but a species called Lucyton cleri, but this term hasn’t really caught on.
● Brísingamen: The Brísingamen is an energy stored within Rey’s heart that supplies her bionic physiology with the ability to function. Her skeletal structure is made up of fervidium alloy, a type of iridescent metal that can burns with immense heat once activated by the Brísingamen. This energy can unleash heat particles from the vessel, generating enough to cause anything within her vicinity to burst into a raging inferno. She can likewise manipulate these particles to create heatwaves and send fire hurling as far as 300 feet.
Basically, she’s a walking powerhouse, which also grants her an immunity to fire and extreme hot and cold temperatures. She is capable of controlling her own body heat, from being able to cauterize wounds to igniting a flame. When angered to the point of raw fury, she can even breathe smoke.
If she overexerts herself, takes on too much (say, a whole battalion of human combatants) with her Brísingamen, then Rey will burst into uncontrollable flames. Even though her body is immune to fire, she will then continue to burn until extinguished by an outside source. While carbon dioxide, extreme cold, or a large quantity of water should do the trick, it’s best to use a method that requires distance between Rey and anyone else.
When using the Brísingamen, red glowing veins pump through wherever she is directing the energy (i.e. her arms). Utilizing it at its fullest capacity (say, the rate it would need to burn a person alive) results in her skin heavily secreting a black, oily substance that has been dubbed samandrine. Think of this substance as the oil that keeps a lantern lit. Samandrine can be extremely toxic when ingested, resulting in temporary paralysis and inability to breathe.
● Built Ford Tough: With superhuman endurance and equilibrium, Rey’s keen sense of movement allows her to be heavily skilled in being able to run through environments via rolling, dodging, vaulting, and climbing. She also a significantly higher strength and pain threshold than the toughest of humans, which can be obvious from her well-toned physique. As mentioned above, Rey also possesses a bionic physiology, which contribute to her brute strength. The fervidium alloy in her skeletal structure makes her heavier than she appears (approximately 140 kilograms).
● Here They Come to Snuff the Rooster: Military training exceeds well beyond that of your typical soldier. Her skills range from long-ranged firearms to melee weapons and close-quarters combat. Her specialty lies with assault and sniper rifles, handguns, bayonets, and combat knives, as well as disarming her opponents. Like many in the military, she also has some knowledge of basic first aid. Rey also carries the knowledge of nearly a century’s worth of firsthand combat experience. Her lives spent as highly skilled snipers, soldiers, and special operatives carry over to her present vessel.
● Jack of All Trades: Combat isn’t the only experience that her many memories have imbued her with. Thanks to her various lives, Rey is skilled in some mechanics and engineering, allowing her to understand and deconstruct machinery and complex robotics. She is also streetwise and has a strong sense of world history.
Between her varied identities and the linguist in her, she is multilingual as well. Fluent in English, Spanish, Zulu, Dutch, German, Russian, Gaelic, Italian, Arabic, and Hebrew.
INVENTORY:
● Exurosuit
● Small black backpack (contains some normal clothes, i.e. green tanktop, brown cargo pants, and combat boots)
● Dogtags belonging to her old self as “Schuyler”
MOONBLESSING: Sanguis.
